AMERICAN COUNCILS FOR INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION: ACTR/ACCELS
JUNIOR FACULTY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM (JFDP)

The Junior Faculty Development Program (JFDP) brings university
faculty from the Newly Independent States (NIS) to the United States
for a one-year professional development program.  JFDP Fellows are
selected through open competitions in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia,
Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Russia, Turkmenistan, Ukraine and
Uzbekistan.  The fellowship consists of non-degree study in the
Humanities and Social Sciences, during which the Fellows create
curricula for new courses, modify curricula for courses they already
teach, and develop new teaching methodologies.  In addition, JFDP
Fellows may focus on developing the administrative infrastructures of
their home universities and links between their host and home
universities.  Fellows fulfill these goals by informally auditing and
observing courses, working with faculty in hosting departments,
networking, attending conferences, and teaching (if circumstances
permit).  The program lasts one year, and includes a summer practicum.

The JFDP is fully funded by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural
Affairs of the U.S. Department of State, and is administered by the
American Councils for International Education: ACTR/ACCELS.

All interested faculty, departments, research centers and university
offices are welcome to apply.  The JFDP office has extended its
deadline, and is accepting applications through April 20, 2001. To
receive more information and an application, contact Denise Ifkovic at
202-833-7522 or at JFDP at actr.org.  An application may also be
downloaded at www.actr.org/jfdp.
